We have the most powerful military in the world and we can't protect the Commander in Chief's feelings? You've got to be kidding me!

I call fake. Those two people had to have been "photoshopped" in. They were static images, that's why they didn't wave back.

If that were true then Bush was waving at nobody, which would be even funnier considering he tried a second time to see if he would get a different response.

Maybe they just thought he was waving at someone behind them? Happens to me all the time. SO embarrassing.

Those two shadows make up half of Olbyloon's entire audience.

In fact, one of them was Olbyloon.

Good for those guys! F waving to that fool. He doesn't get near enough of the disrespect he deserves. Perhaps if they had been a little closer it would have gone something similar to this:

Throbbin (http://www.videosift.com/member/Throbbin) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 08:38:23 -0700

Nope. And as a Canadian, I think I can safely say that no previous president has garnered less respect from the rest of the world that this guy, or more disrespect for that matter.

His PR people told him to wave at the emptiness and they would add a crowd in before they sent it to the TV networks.

I'm glad you've got all the answers. Now explain how easy it is to insert a crowd of people into a clip, behind 2 layers of fence and some breezy police-tape.

For no good reason other than to

a.) sort of make the president look silly
or
b.) sort of make him look like people give a shit about him.

With an ILM budget they could pull it off, but why? No reason.

Olbermann is a bigger douche bag than O'Reiley could ever dream to be. What an ass.

And the taxocrat-controlled US Congress has even lower approval ratings than Bush.

Olbermann's ratings are better than most television shows, thus I have no idea how you surmise they are "crap". Also, the latter part? HAHAHA, I can only laugh at that. At least he's not a blatant racist homophobe spreading hatemongering bullshit. All Olbermann is doing is having a good laugh at the stupidity of our worthless retard of a President.

Mamluks? If any group was enslaved as children and brought up to obey their masters, it's Christian Neo-Conservative "Moral Majority" Republicans. Especially anybody who would vote for Bush, and still hold him in high regard after seven years of disgraceful pandering to corporate interests. I would never accuse any follower of the Bush doctrine of having good taste.

What is the point of even mentioning the Congressional rating? You may as well say, "Bush may have a poor approval rating, but so did King Louis the XVI." Declaring the shit of another leader smelly doesn't make Bush's shit smell any better.

masters, it's Christian Neo-Conservative "Moral Majority" Republicans.

There are more people running around now with no morals, values or ethics and little understanding of basic human nature and history. These weasels and wastrels with the entitlement mentality far outnumber members of the so-called Religious Right. What is a "neo-conservative", really? A left-wing hippie who for some reason is strong on national defense. They deserve a better, more precise name.

Especially anybody who would vote for Bush, and still hold him in high regard after seven years of disgraceful pandering to corporate interests. I would never accuse any follower of the Bush doctrine of having good taste.

Consider the idea that you've been programmed by a lying, deeply-in-denial left-wing media circus as well as a government "education" that celebrates the collective over the individual. I'm not blinded by hatred of Bush so I can reasonably explain where he is lacking.

Olbermann's job is to parrot what his stable of "comedy" writers makes up every day. Like Al Franken, he somehow eats mediocre yet craps the occasional gold coin. I suspect many on the left are embarrassed by him, just like they are of Franken.

What is the point of even mentioning the Congressional rating? You may as well say, "Bush may have a poor approval rating, but so did King Louis the XVI." Declaring the shit of another leader smelly doesn't make Bush's shit smell any better.

Congress is the real power, as they hold the purse strings. The joke is on the idiot "protest voter" conservatives who put the Donkey in the driver's seat 2 years ago. Now we all must sip a mug of Fail, waiting for the chance to clean house again via elections.

I know. And yet, people still brought back the Bush administration in 2004. It boggles the mind, really.

[...] you've been programmed by a lying, deeply-in-denial left-wing media circus as well as a government "education" that celebrates the collective over the individual. I'm not blinded by hatred of Bush so I can reasonably explain where he is lacking.

I haven't been programmed by anything or anybody, and I resent you for even bringing that up. You're a button pusher, and nothing more.

I hate Bush for what he's done to the Middle East, to the world's view of us, and to our domestic programs. That information doesn't come from a left-wing conspiracy. I saw him land on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, donning a flight suit he hasn't worn since the 70s, and stating "Mission Accomplished." I see that after 5 years of bloodshed, Iraq is nowhere near the point of standing up so we can stand down. I talk to my friends, one of whom is missing an eye because Bush sent him to Iraq to fight people who were not a threat to us. And all this while the Taliban is reconstituted in Waziristan. I don't need a left-wing conspiracy to understand the mentality of our Dictator, because it's right in front of me every day. And it's not on the nightly news; it's in the talks I have with staunch Republicans who despise Bush for sending them to Iraq four of five times. It's also with the Republicans who lambaste Bush for spending like he's a Democrat with a trust fund. So don't tell me I've been programmed, just because you think everything you disagree with is a conspiracy.

You mention the Congress holds the real power, and I agree with you, to an extent. They do hold the purse strings. And I hate them for every time they've bowed like a guilty dog when Bush smacks their nose and demands money for his wars. But the fact is, no matter how much I hate Congress for funding the wars, I hate Bush even more for STARTING THEM! Congress wouldn't need to debate a war spending bill if Bush wasn't so thick-headed and gung-ho about destroying the Middle East. Place the blame where it belongs, but place it in the amount that it is necessary.

Well could we agree on the "war" being what it is, a permanent occupation in the Middle East. Nothing to do with oppressive regimes, weapons of mass destruction or human rights. Just securing the oil and petro-dollar.
